Dragonfly - Autumn Meadowhawk

I was walking around the pond by our cabin and noticed several different varieties of dragonflies darting about. I was lucky to find some dragonflies that would pose for pictures.

The  Autumn Meadowhawk (Sympetrum vicinum) is also known as  the Yellow-legged Meadowhawk and as its name implies can be identified by its yellowish colored legs.
